Fitted new brake pads today and whilst I was around that area, I cleaned up some light corrosion on the fork leg paint with some fine scotchbrite and a few of those eraser sponges, pleased with the way they came up.

Drained the carbs , removed the battery and apart from a rear tyre which I will get fitted new Spring, thats all I wanted to do to the Storm until next years riding.
Over the last month or so ive spent quite a lot of time cleaning up the metal work and again, using some scotchbrite and my trusty Dremel, managed to make the exhaust headers and some of the brightwork come up quite well.

Fitted new plugs(how much?!) , air filter and subfilters...made easier by "borrowing"the neighbours young lad to connect the forward hoses to the air box lower section..Was easier to start afterwards for definite.
Next jobs to install new pads & buy/fit a new rear tyre, im sure Santa may treat me to that..
That forward hose, the one that seems impossible to get right. Disconnect it from the valve cover pull it through a bit and presto it's done. No need for child hands.
Hopefully I wont have to venture into that area for some time but ill remember that tip when i do..

started to collect up parts to do a USD front end conversion on the storm. I am coping Lloydie's route of using the Aprillia Touno / RSV components.
so far I have USD forks & Yokes from V4 touno, Radial Brembos, Forged front wheel.
plan is to still keep the flat bars, so hence the Touno yokes.
6 spoke front wheel in gloss black
can I have dibs on the front wheel please mate
Feck me the intermaweb thing works well between here and Spain! The pineapple lurks in the shadows, pouncing on any stray bargains!

no idea if it's going to be a bargain yet hahahaha, from what al's written in the past, i'm surprised it ain't shaped like a 50p
I have a nice n shiny gloss black rear wheel in spain, I've been patiently waiting for a front to come up for sale
